@DigitasLBi_Fr Cannes Lions Predictions 2014

Cannes Lions 2014 Predictions. What's going to win and why? It’s in no way an exhaustive list, simply an educated guess as to what might win at Cannes this year. We’ve tried to identify the emerging themes we may see coming out of the Festival.

1. Advertising inspired by the
environment (in realtime) 2. Advertising re-enchants (or hacks) the everyday 3. Selfies and the importance of me 4. Advertising that reinvents the product 5. The most interesting man in the world is trending 6. Advertising that might make the jury laugh 7. Blockbusters 8. Grand Prix or nothing Emerging Themes

1. Advertising inspired by the
environment (in realtime) Perhaps some of the most exciting digitally led campaigns we’ve seen are in outdoor and they combine intelligent placement with smart tech to create truly personalised experiences between brands and consumers. In this way advertising has become “alive”. Cannes Predictions 2014

2. Advertising re-enchants (or hacks)
the everyday ! Ads now bring magic into the real world. Posters can accept credit cards and even play music. A DIY shop uses billboards to dramatically show how they can improve the everyday. More and more of the filmed stunts rely on reactions from people to some kind of magic in the real world. Cannes Predictions 2014

3. Selfies and the importance
of me “Selfie” was the 2013 word of the year. Only a few months ago, Ellen’s epic selfie generated over 3 million retweets. We can see some brands leveraging this new focus on “me”, inviting individuals not only to be part of the ad — but to be at the centre of it. Brands are finding new and creative ways to use individuals and personal stories rather than scenarios. Cannes Predictions 2014

4. Advertising that reinvents
the product This is a very interesting area. Instead of making ads, some brands are innovating at the product level or creating new products & services that support the brand ambition.We’re convinced that this area will grow over the next few years. Cannes Predictions 2014

5. Advertising that invites action
from the individual There’s a new breed of advertising that wouldn’t exist without someone watching it. These experiences require people to interact, explore and experiment with the ad. From second screening, to innovate navigation and even ultimately being able to control a real person via a website, these ads require action from the individual. Cannes Predictions 2014
